Elton John - Screw You (Young Man's Blues): Ukulele Chords

G                    C
I was a boy I had a lot of fun
   F                         C
I lived by the sea, I was a fisherman's son
   Am               Dm
My mother she was a fisherman's wife
           G                          C
She was scrubbing floors most of her life

Chorus:
             F   C
They said screw you
   F                    C
I ain't got nothing to lose
         F
I could paper a matchbox
          G      C
With the money I use
   F   C
Screw you
  F                     C
I ain't got nothing to lose
         F
I could paper a matchbox
          G      C
With the money I use

At the school I attended I got into fights
I was beaten in an alley on a cold winter night
The teachers cared less for the blood in our veins
They got most of their thrills out of using a cane

Chorus:
They said screw you
Oh you bloody young fools
I could get more sense
Out of the back end of a mule
They said screw you
Oh you bloody young fools
I could get more sense
Out of the back end of a mule

       Am
So you see there's man who get paid for being slaves
     F
And men who get paid for being free
             G
And there's men behind bars who pray for the light
     C
And men in the suburbs who pray for the night
            Am
And they're all trying to climb to the top of the mine
    F                D
And all of them say most of the way
   F    C
Screw you

I worked in the mill from seven till nine
Tears in my eyes nearly drove me half-blind
Trying to make wages that weren't even there
Taking hell from a foreman with the build of a bear

Chorus:
He said screw you
This is all you'll ever do
It's the only existence for someone like you
He said screw you
This is all you'll ever do
It's the only existence for someone like you

F      C      F   C F G C
Screw you, screw you - x6
